Book Synopsis The Cambridge Companion to Hugo Grotius by : Randall Lesaffer
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Hugo Grotius written by Randall Lesaffer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge Companion to Grotius offers a comprehensive overview of Hugo Grotius (1583-1645) for students, teachers, and general readers, while its chapters also draw upon and contribute to recent specialised discussions of Grotius' oeuvre and its later reception. Contributors to this volume cover the width and breadth of Grotius' work and thought, ranging from his literary work, including his historical, theological and political writing, to his seminal legal interventions. While giving these various fields a separate treatment, the book also delves into the underlying conceptions and outlooks that formed Grotius' intellectual map of the world as he understood it, and as he wanted it to become, giving a new political and religious context to his forays into international and domestic law.
Book Synopsis Hugo Grotius and International Relations by : Hedley Bull
Download or read book Hugo Grotius and International Relations written by Hedley Bull and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1990-07-26 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the works of Hugo Grotius (1583-1645) have long been held in high esteem by international lawyers, this book addresses the broader, and neglected, theme of his contribution to the theoretical and practical aspects of international relations. It critically reappraises Grotius' thought, examining it in relation to his predecessors and in the context of the wars and controversies of his time, and assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the `Grotian' tradition of thought - one which accepts the sovereignty of states but at the same time stresses the existence of shared values and the necessity of rules.
Download or read book Grotius and Law written by Emily McGill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays collected for this volume represent the best scholarly literature on Hugo Grotius available in the English language. In the English speaking world Grotius is not as well known as his fellow 17th century political philosophers, Thomas Hobbes or John Locke, but in legal theory Grotius is at least as important. Even on central political concepts such as liberty and property, Grotius has important views that should be explored by anyone working in legal and political philosophy. And Grotius‘s work, especially De Jure Belli ac Pacis, is much more important in international law and the laws of war than anyone else‘s work in the 17th or 18th centuries. This volume is therefore useful not only to Grotius scholars, but also to anyone interested in historical and modern debates on key issues in political and legal philosophy more broadly, and international law in particular.

Book Synopsis Customary International Law in Times of Fundamental Change by : Michael P. Scharf
Download or read book Customary International Law in Times of Fundamental Change written by Michael P. Scharf and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-31 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to explore the concept of 'Grotian Moments'. Named for Hugo Grotius, whose masterpiece De jure belli ac pacis helped marshal in the modern system of international law, Grotian Moments are transformative developments that generate the unique conditions for accelerated formation of customary international law. In periods of fundamental change, whether by technological advances, the commission of new forms of crimes against humanity, or the development of new means of warfare or terrorism, customary international law may form much more rapidly and with less state practice than is normally the case to keep up with the pace of developments. The book examines the historic underpinnings of the Grotian Moment concept, provides a theoretical framework for testing its existence and application, and analyzes six case studies of potential Grotian Moments: Nuremberg, the continental shelf, space law, the Yugoslavia Tribunal's Tadic decision, the 1999 NATO intervention in Serbia and the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Book Synopsis Beyond the Anarchical Society by : Edward Keene
Download or read book Beyond the Anarchical Society written by Edward Keene and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-07-11 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Keene argues that the conventional idea of an 'anarchical society' of equal and independent sovereign states is an inadequate description of order in modern world politics. International political and legal order has always been dedicated to two distinct goals: to try to promote the toleration of different ways of life, while advocating the adoption of one specific way, that it labels 'civilization'. The nineteenth-century solution to this contradiction was to restrict the promotion of civilization to the world beyond Europe. That discriminatory way of thinking has now broken down, with the result that a single, global order is supposed to apply to everyone, but opinion is still very much divided as to what the ultimate purpose of this global order should be, and how its political and legal structure should be organised.

Download or read book War and Peace written by Valentina Vadi and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-05-18 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This treatise investigates the emergence of the early modern law of nations, focusing on Alberico Gentili’s contribution to the same. A religious refugee and Regius Professor at the University of Oxford, Alberico Gentili (1552–1608) lived in difficult times of religious wars and political persecution. He discussed issues that were topical in his lifetime and remain so today, including the clash of civilizations, the conduct of war, and the maintenance of peace. His idealism and political pragmatism constitute the principal reasons for the continued interest in his work. Gentili’s work is important for historical record, but also for better analysing and critically assessing the origins of international law and its current developments, as well as for elaborating its future trajectories.
Book Synopsis Sacred Polities, Natural Law and the Law of Nations in the 16th-17th Centuries by : Hans Willem Blom
Download or read book Sacred Polities, Natural Law and the Law of Nations in the 16th-17th Centuries written by Hans Willem Blom and published by History of European Political. This book was released on 2022 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Often considered a secularizing force in the rise of the nation state, natural law was called upon in the defence of the early-modern confessional states. The fourteen chapters of this volume show how religious and legal thought around natural and biblical law interacted and combined in the new Christian states of Lutheranism, Calvinism and Catholicism. The volume addresses also questions of political legitimacy, civic and ecclesiastical authority, societal stability, conceptions of common good, liberalism's value pluralism (and its pretence), toleration and the lingering humanist project of determining "who are we", issues that were then important as they are now. Contributors are: Dominique Bauer, Thomas Behme, Hans Blom, Jiří Chotaš, Alberto Clerici, Stefanie Ertz, Arthur Eyffinger, Heikki Haara, Mads Langballe Jensen, Adriana Luna-Fabritius, Denis Ramelet, József Simon, and Markus M. Totzeck"--
